For the first time since 1969 I am without a Cavalier. Being ancient I doubt I will have another unless it is an elderly rescue.
My last one died last year from Cushings disease. She was only 8yrs old but didn't respond to treatment.
Back in 69 I worked for a show breeder in Australia and fell in love with the breed, but I waited until I was back home in UK before my father bought a puppy for my 21st. I hung around the show scene but didn't like showing. However I loved to watch.
I learned alot, my interest was pedigrees and eventually had my own database. I collected memorabilia, mainly photographs of older dogs and corresponded with like minded folks.
